Trading Forex?

By Kris Deaney

The Forex market is filled with opportunities. It is also a potentially dangerous market to trade, unless you have two things sorted out first.

The first is a robust trading strategy, that can be carried out with discipline. The second is a reliable Forex broker. The purpose of this article is to talk about the aspects required in a very reliable Forex broker, thus individuals will be able to ensure they join up to one.

Firstly, a Forex broker should be able to give instant execution of trades. It sounds obvious maybe, but a lot of brokers out there do not do that, and this leads to what's known as slippage. It means that that profit is lost.

1 of the problems is that the Forex trade is not regulated by a governing organization, mostly since it is not traded on a regulated exchange, as it is far too huge a industry. It means that brokers can hypothetically act how they like and sadly for a number of them it means they work against the trader. These companies ought to be avoided at all costs.

Then, traders should only be trading with firms that operate on a low spread. The spread is basically the difference between the bid and the ask price or more simply, what it will be purchased or sold for at a specific time. It can be looked at as the cost to put on a trade. The higher the average pip spread, the greater the prices to trade.

Typically traders do not consider the costs of the spread when they trade, however, they do this at their own risk, because it can have a massive impact on gains and loss, especially when a trader is putting on regular trades.

Also, a brokerage ought to have a full set of analysis tools offered to be used by each trader. This means that they can trade as all the traders with a brokerage company, or bank will. Also, they should provide up to the minute financial news, so that traders are aware of and can trade, depending on global events and economic data.

They should additionally provide the opportunity for a teaching program, especially if traders are new, so that they can build up a full understanding and develop their trading methods and their expertise.

This can often come with them having virtual accounts, thus traders will trade with virtual cash, while not having the total pressure of an actual cash setting, at least at the start. Be aware however that trading with virtual money is completely different psychologically from trading with proper cash and at some point each trader has to to learn to cope with the added stress of a real money environment. - 23221
